John Vasquez  

Thank you, man,

 

Rick Jordan  

Yeah, studio here, yeah, right on. I can see that looks like that’s where you do your show.

 

John Vasquez  

Yeah, yeah. I have a YouTube channel, and I try to get here. I usually work from home. I travel a lot, so either home, I try to, I’m trying to get in here more often and do my videos here, so professional. But yeah, I usually do it from my iPhone or my home, dude.

 

Rick Jordan  

I think one of my favorites was I was, I was by the it was at the JW Marriott in Orlando, and I was at the I went, like, down this escalator to this part to where it’s, like, where the staff comes into, the service elevators, you know, because it was the quietest area except for when they would come in. So I was, I was like, hitting mute. I think I was doing it on Zoom. I was like, hitting mute every time the door would slam. Was trying to time the questions, right? So I can mute it before someone else does. It was, it was hilarious, but that’s what we do, right?

 

John Vasquez  

Yeah, it’s a wild world. It’s been since the 2000 pandemic changed the whole business model we have. So I’m inside, we have a corporate office, so we have, like, a conference room, we have a gym, meditation style. And we, we got shut down during COVID, and it pissed me off so much, I’m like, we lost like 70% of revenue, so we went completely online. The rest is history, man. So we know that it took us worldwide, with, like, the actual pandemic worked out for us. So it was like, holy shit. I got so pissed off. I was like, screw these people. Then we just took our content. TikTok is what’s blown us up. Man, that’s awesome, dude, believe it or not. Man, my daughter got us on TikTok, and it was like, holy shit. We went completely, I mean, we had been posting, we posted, we posted 35,000 times by 2020, without any virality. And one video man hit on TikTok. 

 

Rick Jordan  

Wow, that’s incredible, by the way. I think we already started the show, no, no official intro or anything like that. But that’s good info. But for everyone listening. Now, this is a good way to start this. I love it when this happens, because it’s like, we meet, and it’s like, Man, this is just, it’s kindred spirits right away, you know, yeah, it’s awesome, brother. But we’ll dive into that too. Because, I mean, it’s, I mean, John Vasquez, coach. JV, yeah, that’s who, that’s who we’ve got here today. And this is, I mean, your bio is amazing, dude. It’s, uh, you know, you wrote a book in 2006, right? The book is called The Circuit. No, you didn’t. You woke up and read that. I wish I had written the secret. Yeah, no kidding. I’m like, wait a second, that’s, I know that book.

 

John Vasquez  

It’s over my shoulder right here. Yeah,

 

Rick Jordan  

That’s awesome, yeah? But after an attempted suicide, dude, what? What led up to that?

 

John Vasquez  

Yeah, it was interesting. Yeah, it goes pretty deep. It started, you know, as I realized through the awakening afterwards what caused it, right? I was kind of just obliviously going through life, and it was just trauma as a child, right? I never really had the healed trauma. And then my whole young adult life, after I went into the military, I was just seeking edification from the world. I just didn’t know the world. I just didn’t know; I didn’t know how to operate in the world. I really didn’t have a lot of masculine guidance within my life. My dad was in my life, but wasn’t, I mean, he was working nonstop, constantly. You know, he provided as a father, but provided for the family, but wasn’t truly there to teach me how to be a man. And so I was always looking for that edification for my male figure. Some stuff happened to me that shouldn’t have happened to a child at a very young age. I just really embodied that. And so when I left the military, I ended up getting into bodybuilding. And so I remember the first time, man, I stepped on stage as a bodybuilding chubby kid growing up, didn’t get the girls, wasn’t a good athlete, and I stepped on stage, and I probably shouldn’t have done that bodybuilding show. But I had transformed my body. I had abs for the first time. And you know, it’s that guy that was kind of the courtesy clap on stage, but I, the people cheering for me were like, it was, I was addicted right away, man. I was like, Oh my God. And then I got really into bodybuilding. And so it became my whole obsession from getting out of the military in 2000, right before 911, 2001, and then I got obsessed with bodybuilding. And so it was very healthy at first, because I was, you know, changing my body fitness mindset, yeah, I just had very low self-esteem, extremely low self-esteem. 

 

Rick Jordan  

I had a feeling that at that point, right, with the applause and everything, oh, my god, yeah,

 

John Vasquez  

Yeah, it was like, I’d never, you know, been a good athlete, so I’d never had that. And, you know, my father was really into sports, and I tried every sport, and I just wasn’t good. So I just felt like a failure, right? And so I had a leg injury, so before a bodybuilding show, I ended up going to a doctor, and he prescribed me Vicodin, and I was a clean-cut dude. Never took really, any drugs or anything like that. And I remember taking the first pill, man, for my leg injury. I wanted to train through it. And I remember, I remember exactly the underpass I drove under, the feeling like I got this overwhelming, euphoric feeling in my body. And I was like, Oh my God. And I had this confidence that I’ve never felt before. Wow. It’s not, it’s not a good thing, yeah. And then, you know, I start, I’m at a grocery store, and I still kind of start talking to people, and I was like, wow. And so I, you know, the injury still hurt, but the next day, I’m like, well, I’ll take it again for my training. And then, you know, I started taking just, you know, clean cut dude, like a lot of opiate addict stories, I started taking two pills, then three pills, then I needed it to function. Then it was five pills, six pills, seven pills, 20 pills. And back then, that was an epidemic. I mean, they were giving it out like candy in 2000, I think I started back in 2000 late, 2003 going into 200,4 and it was epidemic. I mean, you could get them from Canada, you could get them. So my doctor stopped prescribing them to me, so I found another doctor. You could just pay them under the table. And I just became a junkie, a full-blown junkie. Man. I was running a bodybuilding company at the time, and that actually helped your lifting, it didn’t know, yeah. I mean, I became a mess. I was, I was a complete disaster. I mean, in the beginning, I still was doing pretty well, yeah, but by 2006, that’s when the demise really started. What happened was is I was a functional opiate addict. I was taking, you know, up to 20 pills a day, functioning, running my company

 

Rick Jordan  

And something like that, like 20 bikes during the day, and then, you know, a couple of ambience at night, to bring you back down. 

 

John Vasquez  

Exactly what I was doing. The problem was, though, that I started to hang around with different crowds because I was changing my frequency. I was, you know, buying opiates on the black market, so I started to access other drugs, and it was just like a clean cut dude to a full-blown junkie. And I ended up taking an injectable painkiller called New Band. And that was, that was the device. I became extremely addicted. Forgot I was even running a company. My three-year-old daughter was, you know, I’m just going to be fully transparent, you know, I was a shitty father, man. My daughter was, one day, in her diaper. All day, just shit in her diaper. Remember? Mom picked her up, and I just became a complete, I don’t know how to say this, like I’m trying not to get emotional talking about it, but in 2000 spiral, yeah, in July, in July, 2006 I had, you know, plenty of money in my bank account, but by December 18, 2006 my bank account was empty, and I went to Walmart to go Christmas shopping on December 18 for my daughter. And by this time, I’m just, I’m buying hundreds of dollars worth of drugs a day, and I swiped my debit card, it declined. So I swipe my credit card, and it declines. I swipe my business card, and it is declined. I swiped every card. And ladies, like, we keep swiping. So I went to the bank, and I’d never overdraft in my account in my life, and they turned the banker turned the screen to me, and it was red, and she’s like, everything’s overdrafted. Man. He’s like, You have no money. And I’m like, what? And it kind of felt like I was in such a fog for such a long time. I was like, What do you mean by that? In the manager’s like, you’re broke, and I’m like, in all these voices started coming in my head, like that, the gig is over, dude. Like, it’s your lie is over. Your money is gone. You’re in all that insecurity that came back and everything. And I went to my office. I had a company inside of a gym, and so I went into the office, and I just loaded as much as I could into as many syringes as I could. It was an objectable painkiller. And the first time I’d ever prayed or had access to spirituality, ever, I was never introduced to God or Jesus Christ or anything like any type of spirituality. Growing up, we were, I was raised Catholic, but went to church for Easter and, you know, funerals, and I knelt down and prayed to God. I was like, Dear God, please forgive me. This is not how I wanted it to end up. And I just kept a trench blow my throat, and I set up a mattress so my parents wouldn’t find me lying on the ground, yeah, and that’s all I remember. And then I woke up. That’s where the secret comes in, my phone is ringing, if you remember the razor flip phones, they had the little screen on the front, and so that distinct ring. And I was like, and this is so wild about thoughts becoming things, because I opened my eyes and I’m like, I’m not dead. And I was like, the first thought was, I can’t even kill myself correctly. That was my first thought, wow. And so my my I said, Mom, on it, I pick it up. She had no idea that I attempted suicide. She had no idea that it woke me up from this. It was 48 hours later, I opened the phone, and my mom’s a very classy lady, and she’s like, I don’t know what the f is going on with you. She never cusses or anything. She’s like, I don’t know what the f is going on with you, but you need to read a book called The Secret. Your grandma just read it. So I went and got that book, that actually specific book, and I went and read the book, and I’m like, oh my god, I created all of this. Nobody did. People did things to me in the physical, but I decided to adopt that as my identity, and that was my thoughts, my everyday. I’m not worth it. I’m not worthy. And so here I am, broke now, can’t even take care of my three-year-old daughter, getting evicted from my apartment. A Drug Addict couldn’t even kill myself correctly. I’m like, wait a minute, so what if I just, I mean, I’m at the bottom. There’s no other way to go. I couldn’t even kill myself. And so I was like, what if I just reframe my thoughts? And so I started doing I am affirmations. I am powerful, I am strong, I am worthy, I am abundant. I kept repeating. It, you know, I went through this for the first time, right? Brutal, man, brutal. And then, yeah, I was, and also I’m coming off the drugs, and so I’m coming off, and I just, I shouldn’t have done this. I rehabbed my went to my apartment. I was getting evicted. Nothing left in there. Puked for about a week straight, started getting some hydration going, and then I started to do this thing where I would, you know, I closed my eyes when I say, it’s hard for me not getting emotional, but I would put my hands on the sink, and I would open my eyes and look at my eyes, and I would say it in I would look into my eyes and say it. And about a week and a half in, I started to believe it. I’m like, Oh my God. And I would start to smile at myself in the mirror. And I’m like, I am powerful. I am strong. It’s like, I’m smiling. That makes me smile. I’m worthy. I’m abundant. And then about two weeks later, I started. I woke up one day, and I’m like, I feel normal. I feel I didn’t remember what it felt like to feel normal, like a normal person. And so I remember walking outside, I went for a walk, man, and I had been so not connected to my body the whole beginning of my life up into 31 years old, and then I had never noticed the world, and I was walking, and I saw a flower. I’m like, that’s a pretty flower. And I was like, did I just say that’s a pretty flower? And I was like, I did it.

 

John Vasquez  

And I went, sat down at this, this place called Val Vista lakes, and I went and sat in the grass now, and I started using my imagination. There are big lake houses. And I’m like, I would picture my daughter and me, my daughter barbecuing. I’d picture getting on the lake boat, and I would do all this stuff and and then my life just started to change, one opportunity after another. Man, it was just like, and I started to see the change. But from that point on, it was kind of like, it was like I had forgiven my own past, and that’s why I call myself JB. John Vasquez died in my mind, and a new person was born, which was JV, when JB only had the ability to live present and build forward, right? And I realized that actually, all the things I was worried about, everybody was worried about themselves, yeah, nobody was really.

 

Rick Jordan  

 Where’d my man? I would go, yeah. 

 

Rick Jordan  

You’re not that special, right? That’s what you ended up realizing, yeah, yeah,

 

John Vasquez  

Yeah, or we are all special, you know. And I’m worried about me. You’re worried about yourself. I’m worried about my family. You know, we’re all, you know, great gifts from God. And it’s been, yeah, it’s been this journey for 17 years, and here we are now, dude, I love it, and there’s a lot in between that.

 

Rick Jordan  

Yeah, I love it when you. I love every bit of your story. The only thing I don’t love is when you hold back the emotion, you know, and you’re like, I’m gonna get emotional right here. And it’s a be I love you because you’re like, already, like, everybody is captivated for real. I am. I know that, but everybody is captivated because I am. And it’s, you can just see it, like in your eyes, too, man, that’s the thing. I mean, most are listening on audio, but it’s like, I’m looking right at you, and it’s just incredible, especially when he talked about your daughter, dude, when she was three,

 

John Vasquez  

saved my life. Man, she saved my life. She’s a beautiful 19-year-old girl turning 20 now. And it’s interesting, because it’s like for anybody who, man, for anybody that’s suffering with addiction, or, like, I was not a good father to her, from birth to about four years old, and that’s the most essential time for a child, their brain development, right? And I put her through hell. She was in crack houses with me, buying drugs like she was shit, you know, shit in her diaper, like the worst father you could ever be, right? Her mom was involved, too, but when I had her, I was just a derelict, right? All I cared about was drugs. I didn’t care about taking care of her. And what I want to tell people, if anybody’s struggling with that, it’s like, and my daughter has the most phenomenal relationship now. And it was they did a little it never came out. But they were filming a little documentary about us, and it was neat to actually. And I think why it happened, I don’t know if the guy just didn’t want to lie or what. It didn’t come out, but why it happened was, is because they interviewed my daughter, and I’ve always held like a ton of guilt for putting her through that. It’s like when they interviewed her, she actually asked me to step out of the room because they wanted to be as completely honest as possible. And I sat outside, but it’s actually what’s next door in my office, and I was listening, and I’m like, Oh my God. And like, she, she goes, You know, I don’t remember much about that, but I do remember he was my hero. I was like, Oh my God. Like, I felt so much guilt for that. And she said, What I love about it as I’ve seen what he’s gone through. And then we lost everything again in 2020 which is, which is the Cinderella stuff me, I had a Cinderella story that we lost everything because of the pandemic. And she goes, I’ve seen what my dad does when the times are tough, and that’s what made me who I am today. And I’m like, holy shit. And I was like, it just changed the way that I saw. And now I have, you know, I have a son, and I run. This is not ironic. This is divine. My son was born. I committed suicide on December 18, 2006. I had a son on December 18, 2015, and so we named him John Vasquez, and he was like she was supposed to be born on December 25, and I really believe that God gave me another opportunity. Not only. Way to be the it’s not my father didn’t do anything wrong. He’s a great human being. He did what he knew how to do best. He provided. I just never had a loving relationship with him. So I know that God presented me because God saw that I went through the healing process, and he said he gave me a son and a beautiful daughter, so that now I can do the opposite, right, complete. And I always say my even though I don’t have a great relationship with my father, I call him my greatest shaman ever, because he has made me a great father, because I do the opposite of everything he did. You know, I look my kids in the eyes every day. I love you. I appreciate you. You’re powerful. You’re strong. And my son, I spoke affirmations into him in the womb all the way to now. He’s just, he’s a monster, man. He’s, he’s, I was just telling somebody this morning before I came out here. He was, I he was had him for a little bit, and I played, like Indian flute music, just like positive music all the time at my house. I walk into his room, and he’s sitting there meditating. I’m like, you can’t make this, yeah. I was like, so anybody that’s out there is maybe suffering with addiction, and you know, you feel your kids see you as a superhero. They really do. And it’s like, and no matter how bad it got, she saw the victory that I, that I that I, that I created through it, right? And it’s like, and, you know, she’s just such an awesome, awesome young woman now. And so, yeah, anybody who feels guilty and stuff like that, and I still feel guilt, I still do. It’s, it’s part of, you know, the growth process, but, you know.

 

Rick Jordan  

Yeah, I don’t know if that’s ever completely squashable, brother.

 

John Vasquez  

Yeah, it’s part of your, it becomes part of your, almost, your story and your identity, right? And it’s like, but I also make sure that I, I talk good to myself, though, that I am a good father, that I, you know, I’m like, I’m healed now. I’m here for her now, and that. So when those thoughts come in, I use the affirmations to make sure that I reframe myself. Because what we’re doing is, you know, it’s, it’s, you know, we have free will to think, to walk, to talk, to act, and the thoughts that we’re currently experiencing now are the future of tomorrow. There’s a delay process, yeah, how I’m feeling today is going to be my Saturday and my Sunday, and the decisions I make today is my Saturday, my Sunday. And that’s, that’s the beautiful thing about life, the sun’s gonna come up. The sun came up the next day after I committed suicide, which proved to me that. And, you know, I call it Jesus Christ, the sun came back up. And it was like, okay, holy shit, I get another chance. And every day we all get another chance.

 

Rick Jordan  

And, yeah, Easter, right? Yeah, it’s powerful. It is, yeah, doing another show today, like, oh yeah, do you celebrate? I’m like, Well, I don’t know. I don’t know if it’s a celebration thing. I just think it’s more of a truth thing. ,

 

John Vasquez  

Truth, yeah, truth. Jesus Christ is so real to me, man, God, and Jesus Christ, just in you know, obviously, I love talking about this. This is one of the stuff. That’s why I built my own companies. Because in corporate America, I couldn’t talk about politics or God, yeah, I build companies. You can talk about whatever the hell you want, man. But, yeah, it’s like, you know, to me, Christ is so, like, people ask me, you know, well, how did you become so successful? I say Christ. Like, we’ll explain that it’s really tapping in and tuning into Jesus. Christ is the greatest representation of belief, right? He took undisciplined people and made them disciplined. That’s what disciples.

 

Rick Jordan  

 Carpenters, fishermen, yeah, exactly, yeah. 

 

John Vasquez  

I, a broken ass dude that you know was a junk junkie, horrible father, and showed him the way in the light. And it’s not that, it’s not that complicated. It’s not that there are all these hoops you have to jump through. It’s like, you know, you hold them in your heart, and you’re kind to people, and you know that be, be grateful for what you have, and try to love people the best you can. And, you know, try to see, see goodness in other people, right? And so that’s been one of my biggest changes, too. Is like over the past seven years, specifically, in the last four, I’m really going through that spiritual walk with Christ and God, and you know, and really finding a love for humanity. And that’s what, that’s why I think I was so saved for all this, because it’s like, I have such a deep love for humanity. It’s just, it’s just, it’s an amazing thing, like, I just, I know we’re all going through a lot right now in our world, in our country, and it’s like in, you know, and you know, there’s, there’s all these things happening that are just so dark. But what I’ve learned is, the darker it gets, the more we can transmute that light into greatness. You know.

 

Rick Jordan  

I love that. It’s interesting because it’s me as I age, right? And as I get deeper into myself and into God, my compassion for everybody else and my love for everybody else increase, yes. And I’ve always been patient, man, you know, and I can see that that’s the same with you for everyone else. But I mean, there are days where you’re like, Really, dude, whoever you are, you know, you had to pull that, yes, but then go ahead, yeah.

 

John Vasquez  

I just wanted so I did I have. There’s a gentleman who is a great spiritual coach that I really honor, and I am constantly like, I realized, when I realized I know nothing, I became the smartest man in the world. And I realized I had everything. I got everything I needed, right? And so what, I’m just a student of life and what. We’re out. We’re out in the forest one day, and we’re just talking and hiking. And I said, I might just stop. And I said, Who is God? Man, like, who is God? And he said, I’m just, I’m on this path to just find just, just to find myself, not, not, not to find God, because I know God is all things and anything. He said, Well, let me ask you a question. He said, I’m not going to tell you who I think God is, but let me ask you a question. He said, Do you believe God and Jesus Christ are perfect? And I said, Yes. I said, 100% he said, so. How does God? And he said it because of God. People say father often, because it’s masculine, right? Father, the Creator. Father the Son, the Son of and then the earth is mother, Gaia, the two become one. And so he said, How does the Father God know that he or it is perfect? And I’m like, That’s a great question. He’s like, through you. He’s like, he comes here through you to experience imperfection, to remember how perfect he actually is. And he’s like, so imagine a world, he said, you don’t have to believe this, but imagine a world where everybody you look including me in the eyes right now, that I am made in the likeness of God. And he said, if you saw God face to face, how would you treat God? I was like, I was like, Wow. He said, Just adopt that, and you’ll be close to God. He’s like, you’re What if you what, if you’re talking to God, and I’m talking to God, and we are all God, experiencing imperfection. And at any point, we have free will to make a decision. We can think, we can walk, we can talk, and we can control our emotions, right? But this whole ecosystem that’s been created, whether it’s the devil being the principle Earth, whatever it is, has or for me, let me just speak from my personal experience, like my own awakening process, like something within the physical world made me believe I wasn’t worthy, which pushed me deep in the left hemisphere of the brain, which was facts, figures, numbers, logic. But I became illogical and started to speak goodness into myself, which is what is right? And then I started operating the right hemisphere of my brain. I started to create different things. And now I operate in the right hemisphere of the brain, which is creation, intuition, which brings things in. So when I realized my power in my thought, my power in being able to control my actions and most of all, my emotions through the process of creation, because in the process of creation, there must be density for things to come into form, right? So the two become one. You have a child, that’s exciting. Hey, we’re pregnant. We’re having a baby, and then the mother has to go through this crazy birthing process. It’s violent, a violent process for the baby to come into form, right? And that’s how creation works. So when we decide, we think of something, it’s exciting, and we go to build a business. We get the business plan, we get the money. It’s fun. Then you start actually building the business. And then all the density kicks in, right? And then it becomes dense, it becomes imperfect, and all of a sudden, you have your first sale. Yeah, yeah. And it’s I learned that this process is happening at a micro level in all of us, at the macro level, in the world. And if we all realize that we are actually the cause and effect of all this, then there would be peace and prosperity. But that’s not what the design is. It’s for each person to figure out who they are within this experience. You know.

 

Rick Jordan  

Yeah, for sure, you mentioned something a little while back, and I love this, because I’m not talking much for real. Don’t be sorry, like I’m saying literally. I love this because I’m just soaking everything in that you’re saying that when you said that, once you realize you had everything you needed, you know, then you got everything that came after that. I don’t remember exactly how you said that. You said a lot more eloquently than I did. Just did. It was when I started to think of the concept, because there’s often, as long as we’re on God and spirituality, there’s often a concept of, you know, pray for what you want. You know, God will provide. God will provide. God will provide. And my thought process has already been, he already did. It’s like you’ve got all of these things in front of you, you know, and he’s just waiting for you to be like, oh, there it is, you know, and to actually do something with that, you know, it’s almost like one person once described it to me, use the illustration of, like, checkers, you know, it’s kind of like, it is literally that to where it’s like, you cannot skip moves. You know, when God moves and gives you something. It’s like, now it’s up to you to move. Now it’s up to you to do something with what he laid out in front of you. Because it’s like, you know, you see these things. It’s like, what are you talking about? You know, there’s somebody like, on an island, you know, or drowning, or something like that. And it’s, I’ve seen this illustration a lot of times before, and it’s like, you know, the boat goes by, hey, you know, come on, what we’ll save. It’s like, no, no, thanks. I’m waiting for God to save me, you know. And then a plane comes by, and it’s like, no, no, no, thanks. I’m waiting for God to save me, you know. And then something else, it’s like an animal or something like that, comes by, like, Hop on my back, or whatever, you know, a whale, you know. No thanks. I’m waiting for God to save me. And then he dies, he drowns, you know, and then up in Heaven’s like, God, why didn’t you say he’s like, What are you talking about? I sent you a boat, I sent you a plane. I sent you a freaking whale. You know, everything that you needed was right there in front of you. And I truly believe that it’s a, I think there’s a minimisation of God that exists in our culture, 100% you know, it’s 100% isn’t he big enough to where he literally just gave you everything you need? Already. Sure, you can build skill sets over time or whatever, but it’s like he imparted that into you, literally, when you were born.

 

John Vasquez  

Yes, yeah, if you can, this is the truth. If you can think it, it can be created. Yeah, that’s a fact. All that God is everything. God is no thing. God is all things. God has always been there is no like God. It is the beginning of creation, a thought. It’s, it’s a thought. Like, like, I love this conversation, man. So like, I love going back to Jesus, and because I’m obsessed with Jesus’s life and studying every angle. Like, like, like, for example, like, this is, this is one thing I share with people a lot. And because I just love to learn. And I said to somebody, one time, a Christian was pushing back on how I talked about Jesus, about Jesus and consciousness. And I said, Well, let me ask you a question. I said, Where was Jesus for 18 years? He was like, I don’t know. I’m like. I said, My friend. I said, if you, if you, you’re my friend. I said, If you disappeared. I said, Well, we’re acquaintances. I mean, you know you’re pushing back on my belief system. I said, if you disappeared for 18 years, I know who you are, and you came back on a donkey, you’re the king of the world, like everybody’s calling you Messiah, blah, blah, blah, and you came back on a donkey with Birkenstocks and a sheet around you, I’d be like, Where the hell have you been? Yeah, for real. Every Christian I talk to, or people, never ask where Jesus is. There’s only one verse, and it’s in the Old Testament that says he grew in relationship with man and God. If you were gone for 18 years, I would ask you now, he comes back on a donkey. Why did he come back on a donkey? He was humbled. Donkeys represent humility. So he comes back. And if you’re the king of the world, you’d be on a stallion, right like so, then he goes to all these, there’s all these Pharisees, and they’re wearing these, these amazing,g they got these big churches and stuff. And he says, Sit in the back of the church. So you buy the front. So he goes and finds people like me, a drug addict. And he’s like, Hey, yo, hey, listen, I know, I know that shit happened to you as a kid. I know you don’t believe in yourself. He’s like, but I’m here to tell you that I am in you like you’re made in my, not likeness and image. You can do this. You have to believe in yourself, but unless you believe in yourself, I cannot pray for you. And he starts to empower these people, and he started to teach them the secret they’re like, Oh, I am powerful. I am strong. I’m worthy. And then he walks up to a guy in a mat who’s waiting for a fountain, who’s waiting for Trump to come back, waiting for Jesus to come out of the sky. If you get to that fountain, get to that fountain, well, he’s paralyzed. Everybody’s jumping over him, yeah? And he looks at the guy in the eyes, and they’re all like, Jesus, they’re gonna He’s like, whatever. He watch, looks in the guys. I said, Do you want to be saved? And the guy says, Yes. He says, Pick up your mat and walk. And then he tells another guy. He’s like, Hey, listen, the guy’s blind. And he’s like, Well, this guy’s not gonna believe me that I could get him to heal himself. So I’m going to have him put mud on his eyes, if I can get him to believe that this mud has some type of magical powers. Now he he believes that something, maybe it’s what’s it called, sublingual. Like, he’s sublingual. He’s like, puts the mud on there. He’s like, this is Magic Mud. And he’s like, as long as you believe it’s something, right? It’s like, and so I started, and then he gets on this sermon on the mount. Sorry if I say it incorrectly, Sermon on the Mount. And he inverts everything. He’s like, slap me on one cheek. He used to be eye for an eye. He’s like, slap me on one cheek. I’ll let you slap me on the other. You sue me for my shirt. I’m gonna give you my jacket. You tell me to walk a mile. I’m gonna walk too. And so how I interpreted that was, there’s a lot of physicality happening within the world, and there’s a lot of people telling you how to believe in God and how to do this. And you got to jump through hoops. You got to do all this. To do all this stuff. And Jesus is like, who let all that physical go? He’s like, to get in the kingdom of heaven is to be like these lowly children. I’m like, what does that mean? The reason why he taught children first is because they had no conscious mind. So when we get to thinking stinking, when we start thinking stinking at eight years old, and we get a conscious mind, we from eight to 80, we mess it all up and we, you said it, we forget that we already can do it. And so we’re praying, God, please help me. God, please help me. I need a job. He’s like, McDonald’s is hiring, man.

 

Rick Jordan  

Yeah, right on, for sure, dude, I did that. I did stand up on Broadway a couple of years ago, and that was one of a joke in my my, for real, yeah. I was like, you know, I used to get these things, because I’m an ordained pastor, I’d help plant three churches, right? Yeah, now I do this. It’s fun. It’s amazing. Oh, my God. But I was up there and I was like, you know, I used to get all these people. It’s like, oh, oh, you know, Pastor, pray for me, you know, I just got laid off, you know, I really, really need a job, you know? And it’s like, man, it’s like, What in the world? It’s like, you just got the offer over there. I’m like, you know, hurry up. Taco Bell won’t be hiring forever, you know, yes, yeah, or they are laid off. And, like, you know, I got this, I got this offer, but I just don’t think that’s what God wants for me, you know. And it’s, it’s like, oh my gosh. But then it’s in a scenario, like, like you’re describing yourself. It’s like, you’ve got, you know, you literally go from like, something to absolutely nothing, like no income coming in whatsoever. And then it’s, it’s like, well, if it’s right there, you said McDonald’s, but it’s like, hurry up, Taco Bell is gonna hire somebody else.

 

John Vasquez  

Yes. And so, like, what happened for me is, like, in 2020 like, so I. left corporate America, so I committed suicide. I’d read the secret end up getting a banking job. It was great, like, the most unlikely job ever. Severe dyslexia, I found that out in the military, is crazy. I thought, you know, in school, everything that could have gone wrong in school, like everything that is a child, it was just like, but I’m grateful, because it made me who I am today. I didn’t even know I had dyslexia. All through school. They were putting me in these, you know, different classes and stuff because of it. They didn’t; they never tested me for dyslexia. So I’m in the military, and I’m going through all these classes. I keep failing the tests. The guy’s like, Let me verbally test you, and I aced it. He’s like, I think you have dyslexia, man. So they tested me. I found out in the military that I have dyslexia. And so I’m like, so I have dyslexia. Like, I’m, you know, I’m a failed body builder, failed business owner, drug addict, and because of the secret or belief in myself, the guy that helped me get through this, he calls me up one day, and he’s like, Hey, I want you to interview for this job. And I’m like, I will clean the toilets, dude. I don’t care. I need to pay the rent. And so he’s like, so I said, it’s a banker job. And I’m like, a banker job. I’m like, I don’t care, dude. So I went and got a suit. I think I still had the suit in a box in my garage, and I bought it at Goodwill, like a thrift store. I had no money at this point, like 50 cents. I bought the suit, and I showed up in this oversized suit, and this lady, Lori Schmidt, interviewed me. I love this lady for the rest of my life. And I’m interviewing with her. And I’m like, I keep thinking about my daughter. I’m doing the affirmations. I’m like, Okay, we’re gonna have a we’re gonna get an apartment and a house. And I met with her and and I went through the process, and at the end of the interview, I said, Lori, I remember exactly what I said, but I was like, if you hire me, I promise you I will be the best employee you’ve ever brought on board. So I leave, and I’m like, There’s no way. I mean, there were people who interviewed their banker. It’s a banker. And so she calls me 15 minutes later, and she says, Hey, Lori, my heart drops. And she’s like, Hey, we’re gonna hire you. And I said, Really? And I said, Am I gonna clean the toilets? Like, what? She’s like, we’re gonna hire you as a banker. Shit. We can train you. She said, Something powerful. She said, We like your energy. And I was like, that’s weird. I was in, and I was like, okay, so then I go, I go in there. I did very well as a banker. I ended up getting my own bank branch, and then I moved up to executive, really fast, to VP. And when I got hired for the next two positions, I wasn’t the most qualified education-wise, but both of them said, we like your energy, energy. And I’m like, What the hell is this energy thing? I moved up in the bank, and then that, that energy thing, started to change. People said, your energy is like you feel off, because now I was doing something, and I have another addiction now is edification. Is back. Now I’m a banker. The 535 I BMW, keeping up with the Joneses. The VPS have a BMW, so I need to get a BMW. And it was just like, so now I have this new addiction of keeping up with everybody, right? Because now that’s a Cinderella story. Went to school, I got a job, got a 401K, and I’m like, This is life, man. So I go through recovery, do the secret, and now I’m miserable in my banking job, absolutely, my what my daughter actually talked about that my dad was, you know, we had a lot of money, you know, we were doing very well. We’re going on trips. My dad was always stressed out, always focused on, like, whenever it was our vacation gonna be over. And I followed my gut feeling. I walked out of corporate America in 2017. I just walked out and and that’s when life really changed me. That’s what the conversation we just had. I went from praying for stuff and thanking God for the things that were already created. And it changed my life. It was like, because every day I do this, my son does, my daughter’s like, Thank you, God, so much for our billion-dollar ecosystem. And I’m very, very, very intentional on what I mean by billion-dollar ecosystem, schooling systems, resources, you know, programs for single moms, all these different things, and God is providing that stuff. I mean, we’re not to billion dollars. We’re a multi-million dollar ecosystem now, and we’re building. But what I encourage people is to get out of that lack of thinking that it’s something, it’s inside of you. It’s a connection to the field and frequency. All possibilities exist. If you really believe in God, then all possibilities exist. They all exist. Wow, wow. You just have to connect to it.

 

Rick Jordan  

That’s so freaking powerful, man. I mean, we could probably even go off, even unlike the physicality of that too, how thoughts connect to your muscles and everything else. It’s like, I see, you know, I know that it was a, I watched a documentary in 2013 called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. And it’s a, it’s probably still on Netflix, you know. And it was this dude who started juicing, you know. But it was more, not so much, that he just started juicing. He just started understanding and started thinking the thoughts exactly what you’re saying. It’s like, this is going to be what, what gets me healthy? It’s going to cure my liver problems, it’s going to cure my kidney problems, you know. It’s going to allow me to be of a healthy weight, you know. And I was very overweight at the time. I was 80 pounds heavier than I am right now. And in that process, you know, I looked at that, I’m like, Huh? And then this dude walked down the hall in a movie theatre. I love this. And it’s like, he just looked at me. It’s like, what’s up? Chubby? I was like, Whoa, yeah. I was like, I just didn’t know him, not at all, yeah. So I go, I mean, I was kind of flabbergasted. Did you know I love that? Yeah, that’s one of my favourite words on the planet, by the way, but it was that, and it’s like, when I started to do that, I lost the weight. But then, when I said, you know, I really didn’t put on the muscle mass that I have now, until a couple of years ago, you know? But I started recognizing in my workouts when I would lift that, yeah, because I used to, dude, I mean, even, like, this, right? MacBook, right? I used to, like, have my MacBook open while I was working out. I used to have my phone open while I was working out. It’s like, I can catch up on a couple emails, you know, I can get this done, you know, like, it like in the rest sets in between, yeah, and, but when I started to see the progress is when I just focused, like, literally, with my mind focused on the exact muscle group that I was working and I was like, oh my goodness, the even in that it’s like that the power of thought goes into literally your body. Imagine the power of thought, like you’re talking about, that can go into every aspect of your life. Yes, yeah. And I love that. I love that we ended up talking about God and Jesus Christ today, because for everybody that doesn’t believe or is like, on the fence, if they’re like, a persuadable, you know, whatever it is, it’s like, Fine, if you don’t want to, that’s all good. But understand, which I do, is that there’s still this stuff, like quantum energy that exists, you know, and I fully believe that. I mean, we believe in God Almighty, who actually created that, right? Literally, that energy thing that you’re talking about. It’s an energy exchange that happens between two people.

 

John Vasquez  

Yes, yes, that’s so like, we’ll go deeper into like, this is what I believe Jesus was teaching. And this is this. People get upset at me when I talk about this stuff, but he comes back, and I’m just, I have a logical circuit in my brain. I don’t know if it’s dyslexia, but it’s dyslexia, but my brain looks at logic. And I read the Bible as a living organism, not a history book. I read the Bible as a living organism, like, okay? And the deeper I go, and the more I spend time with God and build a relationship with God, like a relationship, I now communicate with God. I’m like, you know, sorry about that. I know, sorry about That’s right. 

 

Rick Jordan  

When you said, God, it was perfect.

 

John Vasquez  

I know it’s crazy. I now communicate with God. And what I mean by that is, like, I’m not a god, but I’m having a conversation with my father, yeah, and I can stop for a moment. I’m in, and I say, well, when two or two or this is church, when two or more are gathered, and so the studies that I’m doing of Jesus, and you know, he was gone for 18 years, he comes back, he’s like, wait a minute, something’s not right here. Like we’re not teaching relationships, like there’s something not right here. All these people are chasing this esoteric thing outside of themselves, yeah, right. They think it’s this outside in effect, when it’s from the inside out, right? And then they start talking about, there are so many things, and you know, you know, you know you’re being an ordained pastor. I would love to get coaching around this, like I’ve been studying. Moses goes to a burning bush. He goes up into the right, and he didn’t see God face to face. Somebody corrected me on that he saw God’s back or something, but got pretty close to God, right, yeah. And right, when he gets to God, what does he say? Tells him everything wrong with him. I have a speech impediment. I have a limp, blah, blah, blah. And God’s like, Oh, we’re not playing this. Yeah. Right on, yeah. He’s like, from here on out, you are or no, sorry, I am in the Bible, the great I AM. And that goes into the secret. So Moses comes down. He turns a snake into a staff, right? It’s like, interesting. He turns a snake into a staff. Now he has confidence. His spine is taught, and he comes down. He goes to the slaves. He flees from the Israelites. They go to the Red Sea. They part the Red Sea, and they’re all excited, and they’re free. And then they go into the desert, and they lose faith, just like us, they lose faith. And what does God do? He sends snakes again to bite them and but in the Bible, it says, take the snake, put it on the cross and bronze it, and face that, yeah, like, that’s your creating, that it’s your thoughts, your behaviors, your actions, put it on the cross and bronze it. Nobody’s coming to save you. Then they’re fishing in a boat, right? They’re fishing in a boat. Jesus is standing on the water. He’s floating on the water, right? And these guys are fishing on the left side of the boat. They’re fishing on the left side of the boat. He’s like, cast your nets to the right, so they throw it to the right. And they catch 153 fish, one plus five, plus three is nine. Yeah, right. And the number nine keeps coming up over and over again in the Bible. And they catch a bunch of fish, which is wisdom. And underneath the ocean is this big, deep subconscious mind. So they’re bringing the wisdom to the surface. And then he tells, I don’t remember, was it Jacob, one of them, to come out onto the water? And he starts to get where Peter started. Peter, yeah. So he comes down the water, and he starts to, he starts to. He gets scared, loses faith, and starts falling down, and all the subconscious mind programming comes up, all his fears and anxiety, Jesus, like no. Rise above that. You’re in the right hemisphere now. You’re like the children, be creative. They believe in themselves. And then Peter, or Jacob, sees God face to face. Yeah. He calls it pineal. He falls asleep on a rock. He looks at it. There’s a ladder going up and down to God. And it’s like, so I started to, like, instead of arguing with people, I’m like, I’m just going to apply these teachings to my life. Yeah, I’m going to apply praying in my closet. I pray on Twitter as well. But, but my thought process around that is like, well, if Jacob, so Jacob. Calls it pineal right? The pineal gland activates. So I looked well, how does a pineal gland work? When you’re in darkness, your pineal gland activates. Your pineal gland is your thoughts, like, so when you’re thinking, when your pineal gland is activated, when I open my eyes, that’s the reality that I’m facing, like the secret. So I’m like, so when I’m alone in my thoughts, I should be raising my frequency, because 95% of the time we’re unconsciously walking through life, and only 5% of the time we are actually imagining and creating, right? Yeah,

 

Rick Jordan  

It’s insane. Conscious mind can handle only, like 30 data points, but your subconscious mind, your unconscious mind, can handle Yeah, exactly. It is exponential. Beyond that. You know, it’s, it’s into the 10s of 1000s. One I’ve seen.

 

John Vasquez  

Yes, instantly, yeah, instantly. So what? Yes, I love it. So they’re pulling the fish to the surface, which is wisdom. It’s like, oh, wait, it’s all inside of me. Okay, I can do this. And, it gets so convoluted, like, you know, we have war over religion and war over God and war over this. And it’s like, I really believe that Jesus was like, yeah, guys, it’s about relationships. It’s about a relationship with your father. And then, right? I think it was, you know, soon before He was crucified, and then he goes to pray to God, and he’s like, and I don’t remember the exact prayer, but he’s like, Why help me, father? He’s like, kind of goes from that belief to begging, like the person looking for a job, and God stops talking to him. Yep. God’s like, What are you talking to? Like, that’s not me. Then the devil pops up on his right side, on his right side. So, so for me, I’m like, okay, so if I take the Bible as a living organism, so when I start begging God, God’s like, I don’t deal with beggars. We don’t do that. I’m great. I am. Like, you, you’re that’s not me. You’re talking to the devil. The Devil’s the devil. The Devil’s the prince of the earth. So if you’re not gonna believe in yourself, you’re gonna hang out with your lower carnal mind, which is a devil. If you want to do that, you have free will to do that. But I’m over here like I’m, yeah, I’m in the creative state of mind. I believe in you. I freaking love you with all my heart. I’m never gonna forsake you. JV, I was in the crack house with you, with your daughter. I never forsake you. You forsake me, you, you, you took free will to move. I was always with you. I was sitting right next to the whole time, and the prodigal son. And so I started to apply these, these actual stories, to my life, because here’s what happened to me as I went to a church. And in these, I was in a Bible study, and I’ve a pretty bad dislike, really bad selection. And so they were. I’m not a theologian. I couldn’t memorize the verses as they did. And so we’d go to this Bible study. And these gentlemen, I watch how people live their lives. That’s how I determine whether you’re a Christian or not, right? So we, and I would, you know, they were, they were really good. They could cite Bible verses, you know, they were. They would be on stage speaking. I’m like, and I was kind of enthralled by that. So I was trying to learn about Christ. And we were going to this, you know, breakfast thing, and we do our Bible study, and they’re like, Did you do your Did you remember I’m like, I guys, I’m I understand what we’re talking about, but I want to ask you guys a question. I said, you guys can know the Bible verses, but I see you on Facebook. I see you playing poker with your buddies. You’re not paying attention to your wives or spouses. You don’t seem to be connected with your kids. I said, Isn’t that what Christianity? Isn’t that what being a Christian is? Shouldn’t we be doing good works? And they got so pissed at me, and I said, I’m just, I keep I said, I keep it real, man, yeah. And so that pissed me off, and so they got upset at me. So I went on my own mission. I’m like, I’m gonna go read this book as if it’s a living organism, and no matter how long it takes me to read it, no matter how many people I need to talk to, and I just started learning from different people. And then somebody comes to me and says, Hey, your belief system is wrong, especially when I talk like that about the right hemisphere of the right hemisphere of brain, they say your belief system is wrong. I said, Why do you believe what you believe? That’s my question. Back, and they’ll say to me, Well, my pastor told me that. So why? So why do you believe it? Though, yeah, have you applied this to your life? How is Christ working in your life? And the answer is, he’s like, Wow, I never thought about that. I’m like, you should, you should start thinking about it. We should all start thinking, yeah, if we did, if we all started thinking, because, you know, like, we got the craziest presidential election coming up in human history. It’s like, and everybody’s waiting for a saviour to come back. Everybody’s waiting for Jesus to come out of the sky, or Trump to come and save him.

 

Rick Jordan  

And it’s like, Dude, I laugh. I look at the choices like, it’s like, yeah, it’s comical in some ways. You know, it’s

 

John Vasquez  

man, it’s, it’s like, a historical pattern that keeps repeating. It is, absolutely it is, yeah. It’s like, Jesus’s timeline. It’s like, looking at the Pharisees, and it’s just like, what? Come on, get out of your egos. Guys, like, let’s just go build together. Let’s expand consciousness together. That’s what’s beautiful about this timeline. And what I believe is that this is a beautiful timeline. It’s almost like a Christ Consciousness timeline. I believe that Christ is awakening in people right now. And I said this now, I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Someone asked me, How can you believe in Jesus so much? I said, I said, this is the way I think about it. If I went to every adult in the world and I asked them, Have you ever heard of Jesus? Have you ever heard of Jesus? They probably say yes. Would you agree, yeah, for the most part, if every single adult says yes, why is he the biggest influencer in the world? So wouldn’t that mean he’s in us? If everybody knows who he is, yeah? Like, how could somebody know? One person like He’s the number one influencer. You know, it’s not Charlie DeMaio on TikTok. It’s not the rock. It’s Jesus Christ. Whether you hate him or love him, you know him; he’s undefeated. Yeah, he is undefeated. They killed him, and we still can’t keep him out of our mouths. He’s the top G Man. 

 

Rick Jordan  

For real. I’m mind went to it, it’s like what you said, like he’s the number one influencer. The Bible is literally, like the number one bookseller every single year, too. Yeah, I don’t know why Trump thinks he has to help that along with his $59 USA Bible.

 

John Vasquez  

It’s so interesting. And what I realized too is it was a, had a really funny moment with my coach. And it was like, sometimes I get caught in these rabbit holes. I study a lot. And I was like, Yeah, somebody asked me if the Earth was flat. And so I started looking at Flat Earth stuff. And, you know, it’s convincing. Blah, blah, blah. And I went to him, and I just love my coach. And he was like, I go Hey, man, what do you think he’s really smart? And I said, is the earth flat, dude? And he goes, okay. JB, the Earth is flat. Cool. He goes, what are you going to do tomorrow? He goes, the Earth is square. Now, what are your activities and behaviors are you going to do? Who’s Who cares if it’s square? Who cares if it’s purple? Who cares if it’s green? He goes, what are you going to do when you wake up? Well, how are you going to treat your kids if it’s flat? What does it do for you? Nothing. He’s like, What’s everybody spending so much energy.

 

Rick Jordan  

I can’t entertain that thought, because I’d be the guy that, like, I’m gonna go find one of the corners. I want to see what the corner looks like.

 

John Vasquez  

What the corner looks like. The whole point of what it’s like, everybody’s waiting for something when it’s all inside of you, and it’s what I believe is, it’s all hidden in plain sight, waiting for you to find it and make the path to light difficult. So the weekend where you will not follow and where God is not weak, God is not weary, God is disciplined. God is that’s what disciples are. God is. And so I was like, the more disciplined I become in my spiritual life, my financial life, my mental life, the more I know Christ, and I believe that’s what I think. That’s what being a disciple is.
